After trying 4 different FTP sites, I'm wondering if my MandrakeUpdate
is beyond repair: I just updated the rpmdrake and associated RPMs from
the cooker, but still get the same behaviour.
In MandrakeUpdate, selecting a Cooker source, running as root, I get a
trace like the following, and what is particularly worrisome is the
line "packdrake: cannot open archive file
/var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.ftp.proxad.net.cz" because the file does not
exist and yet there's no permissions problem to prevent it.
no descriptions file for 'CD 1 Installation CD (cdrom1)'
no descriptions file for 'CD 2 Extension CD (cdrom2)'

========================================================================
If I run urpmi.addmedia from the command line, I get the same behaviour.
When the installation was fresh, the CD lists had descriptions, and if
I show all installed packages, I get descriptions.
Is it possible to repair MandrakeUpdate so that it works again? I
started into the man pages about urpmi, but quickly got lost in the
files and formats.
